“The Tree of Life” exec producer Donald Rosenfeld says he’s pushing ahead with a request for a federal judge to rule that his now-completed Emma Thompson and Dakota Fanning movie, “Effie,” is in no way based on a play by Gregory Murphy. The producer filed court papers last spring saying a legal ruling was necessary to secure funding for the movie, which Murphy says is based on his own off-Broadway drama “The Countess.” Although a ruling has yet to be made, Rosenfeld’s screen version went on to find financing and is already in the can. But he says he still won’t drop his case. “I’ve never settled with anyone,” Rosenfeld said. “All these people want to do is chase me. They should build their own house. I am a creator. They are destroyers.” A rep for Murphy says the playwright is now being forced to deal with unnecessary legal fees because of Rosenfeld’s ongoing case. Meanwhile, Rosenfeld says he’s submitting “Effie” to the Cannes Film Festival.
